Ecology of freshwater climate refugia

Degree Type: PhD

Closing Date: 01 June 2025

Campus: University of Tasmania, Sandy Bay Campus

Citizenship requirement: Domestic

Freshwater biodiversity are among the most heavily impacted by anthropogenic disturbances. This is expected to intensify as climate change alters the temperature, flow, and biogeochemistry of freshwater bodies. Cold-adapted species are likely to be especially vulnerable as they become increasingly restricted to habitats that serve as climate refugia. Identifying, understanding, and managing these refugia could therefore be pivotal to mitigating climate change impacts.
